FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2009 CHEVROLET AVEO WAS BOUGHT IN MARCH WITH 25000 MILES, IN APRIL I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS, AT SEPARATE TIMES, THE HARMONIC BALANCER WAS FOUND TO BE WORN WHICH DAMAGED THE TIMING BELT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 28000 MILES. BEFORE THIS, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR PROBLEMS OF NOT STARTING (OCCASIONALLY). THE ISSUE COULD NEVER BE DUPLICATED AND WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FINE. SINCE THEN, THE CAR WILL NOW ACT AS THOUGH IT DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE GAS OR THAT THERE IS A "MIS-FIRE" SUCH AS SPARK PLUGS. NO LIGHTS COME ON. AT 42500 MILES WHEN GOING 45 MPH, THE CAR ACTED AS THOUGH IT WASN'T GETTING GAS, OR TRYING TO "MISS" AND THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED THREE TIMES BUT DIDN'T STAY ON. AFTER PULLING OVER, TURNING OFF THE CAR FOR 10 SECS AND RESTARTING IT, AS SAID TO DO IN MANUAL, THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME WITH NO SECURITY LIGHTS ON. CAR WILL ONCE AGAIN BE INSPECTED A DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS!!! THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT "LUNGES" AT INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKE, JERKS OR MAKES A HARD "MISS" WHEN TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. AVEOS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET. MY AVEO GETS GREAT GAS MILEAGE, HAS NO POWER OPTIONS, WHICH IS WHAT I WANTED, BUT IS STILL MORE TROUBLE THAN ANY VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. MY AVEO IS DRIVEN MOSTLY ON THE INTERSTATE AND NO MORE THAN 30 MILES IN EACH DIRECTION. IT CURRENTLY HAS 42550 MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2009 AVEO5 PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH 2009. IN APRIL 2011 AT APPROX 32600 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, CEL CAME ON, AND IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. ONSTAR DIAGNOSTICS REPORTED "INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE FAILURE" P16F3. I HAD ALREADY REQUESTED A TOW TRUCK, AND WHEN IT ARRIVED, I TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN. IT STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO GET IT ON THE TOW TRUCK. CEL WAS STILL ON. TOOK IT TO MIKE WILSON CHEVROLET. THEY KEPT IT 1 WEEK, SAID THERE WAS NO CEL, NO FAULT CODE, NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. LAST NIGHT, JANUARY 2, 2012 AT APPROX 48000 MILES I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME FAULT CODE. ONSTAR, ADVANCE AUTO PARTS, AND MY OWN PERSONAL OBD2 SCANNER ALL REPORTED THE SAME CODE: P16F3. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND TSB 09-06-04-005 (FEBRUARY 2009) DESCRIBING THE EXACT PROBLEM AND RESOLUTION: ECM RECALIBRATION. THIS MORNING, CEL IS OFF, AND I WENT TO ROD HATFIELD CHEVROLET WHICH WAS THE DEALER CLOSEST TO ME, AND THEY SAID THAT DESPITE HAVING THAT EXACT PROBLEM WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVING IT REPEATED NOW, THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED THE FIRST TIME IN APRIL 2011, SINCE IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE BULLETIN WAS PUBLISHED BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT THE CAR. BECAUSE IT WAS NOT FIXED THE FIRST TIME, I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS IN DANGER BOTH TIMES WHEN MY CAR STALLED IN THE ROADWAY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN DANGER LAST NIGHT. I AM IN PROCESS OF FILING A COMPLAINT WITH GM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT 24000 MILES THE TIMING BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A WORN HARMONIC BALANCER. NOW THERE ARE MORE PROBLEMS WHICH CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, IT WILL SOMETIMES NOT START. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 5 MINUTES, IT WILL EVENTUALLY START. NO ENGINE OR SECURITY LIGHTS COME ON. AS YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR WILL "MISS" AND/OR LUNGE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT ALSO DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE GAS, ESPECIALLY AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THE VEHICLE "PULLS BACK" WHILE ACCELERATING. UNKNOWN WHETHER THIS IS FUEL SYSTEM,ENGINE, OR TRANSMISSION RELATED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THE FIRST INCIDENT, WHEN DRIVING AT 40 MPH STARTED SHAKING LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AND STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE NEXT DAY WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT IT STARTED SHAKING AND THE RPM GAUGE WAS GOING UP AND DOWN. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH LATER, WHICH IS WHEN I TOOK IT IN, BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT KEPT HAPPENING -- THE CAR WOULD START SHAKING WHILE DRIVING LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AND WOULD SLOW DOWN. ONCE WHILE DRIVING IT DROPPED THE ACCELERATION TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER, THEN JUST LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT AGAIN FOR ONE WEEK BUT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS BUT NOW IS HAPPENING REGULARLY. SOMETIMES IT JUST SHAKES QUICKLY BUT SOMETHING THE ACCELERATION COMPLETELY DROPS AND THE CAR WILL JUST STOP WHILE I AM DRIVING, WHICH IS SCARY. I'LL TRY TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, THEN FINALLY IT WILL GO AGAIN. SOMETIMES I WILL STOP AND THEN THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD. THE RPM GAUGE IS ALWAYS MOVING UP AND DOWN. THERE IS NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWO MORE TIMES AND STILL NOTHING. THEY JUST INSTALLED A DATA RECORDER AND I RECORDED FOUR INSTANCES AND GAVE IT BACK; I'M WAITING TO HEAR THE RESULTS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE I WILL BE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND MY CAR WILL JUST STOP, AND SINCE I AM NOT BRAKING THERE IS NO INDICATION TO THE CAR BEHIND ME. ALSO, NO LIGHTS ARE COMING ON (NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ETC.). I HAD MY OIL CHANGED THE FIRST TIME SINCE I WAS ABOUT DUE BUT THAT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I BOUGHT MY 2009 CHEVY AVEO A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. WHEN MY CAR WAS AT 6,000 MILES, I DROVE MY CAR TO SCHOOL AND PARKED IT IN A PARKING GARAGE. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WOULD NOT START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. WHEN MY CAR REACHED 16,000 MILES I BEGAN EXPERIENCING SHAKING AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS, AND VERY SLOW DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AFTER STOPPING. THE SHAKING AND DELAYED ACCELERATION WOULD OCCUR RANDOMLY YET WAS VERY LIKELY WHEN MY AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP YET THEY SAID THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AROUND 22,000 MILES. OVER THE LAST WEEK MY CAR HAS BEGUN DECELERATING AND THEN SUDDENLY LUNGING FORWARD WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE DECELERATION AND LUNGING FORWARD IS HAPPENING WHEN I AM DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AT ABOUT 30MPH AND WHEN I AM ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING AROUND 70MPH (AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN). TODAY, PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, MY CAR WAS VERY DELAYED IN ACCELERATION. WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND THEN SHUT OFF. THIS PROBLEM IS SPORADIC, YET INCREASINGLY WORRISOME AND DANGEROUS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM AND INSIST THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2009 AVEO 4 DOOR WITH HATCHBACK I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN APRIL 2010. WE HAVE HAD TONS OF ISSUES WITH IT. IT HAD A BATTERY LEAK DUE TO A BAD WELD JOB THAT CRACKED THE BATTERY AND ACID WENT THROUGHT THE ENGINE AREA (AND ALL OVER OUR NEW HOME'S GARAGE AND DRIVE) ALL THE FRONT END HAS BEEN REPLACED FROM THE AXLE, CV BOOTS, LOWER CONTROL ARMS (JUST REPLACED YESTERDAY). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MULITPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND STAYS IN THE SHOP. NOW--NEW ISSUE---HUBBY WAS DRIVING HOME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING. IT WAS REVVING UP BUT THE CAR WAS OUT OF GEAR SO HE AND HIS CAR POOL BUDDY PUSHED IT OFF THE ROAD, SHUT IT OFF, AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT DID NOT WANT TO START BACK UP. THEY WALKED AROUND IT TO SEE IF THEY COULD SEE IF ANYTHING WAS LEAKING AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SEEN NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THEY GOT BACK IN AND IT FINALLY STARTED UP AFTER 10 MINUTES OR SO AND ALL WAS FINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WHEN I CHECKED IN THE GUY POPPED THE HOOD AND PULLED OUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DIP STICK. HE SAID "NO FREAKING WAY" OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS HE PUT DROPS OF THE FLUID ON HIS PAPER AND SMELLED IT. HE SAID THAT THE FLUID WAS WAY DARK AND SMELLED BURNT AND THERE IS NO WAY A CAR WITH LESS THE 15,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD HAVE THAT KIND OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. WELL THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT CALLED ME TODAY TO TELL ME TO COME AND GET IT THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THAT " THE TECH IS UNABLE TO VERIFY CONCERN, SCANNED FOR CODES AND BULLETINS AND FOUND NONE" SO THEREFORE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NEXT TIME IT JUMPS OUT OF GEAR TO PUSH THE ONSTAR BUTTON AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM AND THEY WILL SEE IF THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT NEXT TIME. I HAVE A HANDICAP SON AND WE USE THAT CAR SINCE IT GETS GREAT GAS MILEAGE TO GET TO THE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS FARTHER AWAY AND I DO NOT WANT TO BREAK DOWN ON THE FREEWAY WITH HIM. AFTER READING THAT OUR LEMON CHEVY IS NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE YOU WOULD THINK GM WOULD. *TR
